Yachats. A place like no other.

From the oceans rhythm to the forests womb, the pulse of nature is immersive. The destination is here: Now its time to go deep.

Yachats (pronounced YAH-hots) gets its name from a mix of local Native words that most likely mean “where the trail leaves the beach.”

Situated on the Pacific's rocky shore where marine life is nurtured, agates are tumbled and beach combing for treasures is a path unto itself.

This place, location, these people. It’s different here.

To the west, open ocean inspires awe and a sense of harmony. To the south is the Cape Perpetua natural area, including nuanced beaches, marine and bird sanctuary along with hiking and forest experiences like no where else.

Known as the "Gem of the Oregon Coast," Yachats offers something for everyone, from stunning ocean vistas and tide pools to serene hiking trails and cozy local eateries.

Today’s hint mushroom #1 (of 5)

Where the land softens and water weaves its way through tall grasses, a wooden path invites you to explore nature’s quiet sanctuary. Listen to the calls of birds and the rustle of reeds as you wander this tranquil boardwalk.

Responsible adventuring is key! 🍂 These hidden treasures are nestled close to the trail, so remember to leave only footprints. Stick to the path, soak in the crisp fall air, and enjoy Yachats in all its autumn beauty! Don’t forget to explore, eat, and shop along the way.
